Specification formingvpart of Letters Patent No. 192,820, dated July 10, 1877 application filed November l5, 1876.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, DENNIS K. ENRIGHT, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State ot' Illinois, have invented a new'and valuable Improvement in Water and Wine Coolers; and

I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ot' the construction and operation of the same,.reference be ing had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures ot reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a top or plan view of my improved cooler. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectionY taken through the center of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 isa plan view of the revolving tray, and Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the open center removed.

The nature and object of my invention are Vto construct a water and wine cooler with several compartments for the purpose ot' keeping different kinds of wines, liquors, and sumnier drinks in the most convenient manner for the use of hotels, restaurants, Sto.; and it consists, principally, in the employment of a revolving tray in combination with a watercooler, substantially as and for the purpose hereinafter more fully described.

A, Fig. 2, is the base, upon which the outside shell B is mounted. The upper chamber C is separated from the 'lower chamber D by the plate or partition E. The water-cooler F, which is intended to contain ice-water for use, and for cooling the entire space contained in the outside shell, is located in the center of the lower, chamber D, its upper end being soldered or otherwise made fast to the partition E, while its lower end rests on the hollow center pin a., being made tight by soldering or otherwise. The revolving pan or tray G is also fitted loosely to the hollow center-pin a., which is made fast in the base A, and is provided with shoulders and tenons, as shown in the hollow center-pin a if the desired bottle is necessary to purify the Water.

not in front or within the opening of the door. The hollow center-pin has two openings, b and c, one being made in its top and the other in its side. These openings, intersect with 4each other, as shown in Fig. 4.. The side opening c is intended to receive the pipe d, which leads to the faucet e, as shown in Fig. 2. pop and sodawater bottles, which are accessible through the top door I, which swings on the pivot f. A box, K, is located in upper chamber for the purpose of keeping pulverized or small pieces of ice for mixing with summer drinks, the center of said box being pierced with holes for the purpose of carrying off water which may accumulate from the melting'of the ice. The box K is of oblong form, and may be removed at pleasure whenever it is necessary, for the purpose of renewing the supply of ice in the cooler. The.

circles g g shown on the upper face of the pan or tray Gr inFig. 3, are intended to represent bottles, or spaces for them.

It will be seen by this arrangement that the bottles are close to the cooler, and may be revolved at pleasure, the upper edge of the pan or tray being corrugated for that purpose'.

rlhe outside shell may be double thick, for the purpose of protecting the contents from outside atmospheric intluences. n

. The cooler may be packed in the bottom with a filter in localities where it would be restaurants; second, it does not require more than halt' the amount of ice that is now used where an open tray is employed for keeping drinks ready for use; third, it utilizes the ice used for a double purpose, that of keeping icewater and other drinks in a cool and con venient manner for'use.

The upper chamber C is intended for The tray may p `4Heving thus described my invention, what In testimony that I claim the above I have I claim, and desire to secure byiLetters Patbereuntosubscribed my name in the presence ent of the United States, isof two Witnesses.
